Reddit reviews Why Paint Cats: The Ethics of Feline Aesthetics

Why Cats Paint

Once you've grasped that material I find:

Why Paint Cats?

to be the logical follow-up.

'Why Paint Cats?'

The companion book to 'Why Cats Paint'

No, it is "Why Paint Cats." It is literally about painting cats. There is another book, "Why Cats Paint." It is about why cats will paint pictures and how they paint things upside-down. "Dancing With Cats" is by Burton Silver and Heather Busch, as are the other two books. I have read (more or less) all three books. The experience of reading them is rather surreal. Realizing that someone paid several thousand dollars to have Charlie Chaplin painted on their cat's ass, using the asshole as a bowtie, is also a bit surreal.

EDIT: Added links. Expanded info.

While its a cat thing, there's a book - Why Paint Cats (note the companion book Why Cats Paint).

There are a number of pictures out there on the web if you search for it. At times, I wonder how many of those owners ere murdered in their sleep.

I think this is a pretty common book most places, at least in the Pacific Northwest. I got it as a gift as a child and see it everywhere.

Edit: That, and "Why Cats Paint", and "Why Paint Cats". I recommend them all.

I put a link and more pics in my blog. Direct amazon link:

The book Why Paint Cats is my go to and it is always a hit. It’s so convincing that people can’t quite tell if it is real or fake and it becomes a hilarious point of conversation and controversy.

I first used it at an office white elephant and from what I understand, it returns every year, even almost a decade later.

(sorry, it's just that the subject line here made me think of this.)
